I'm sure the guides loved the auction tag client$. Great marketing tools for them and lucrative hunts. Auction tags or not, these guides will still get their fair share of the top tags in AZ. The grip and grins will still be all over IG. I do question that AZGF ("they") doesn't need the...

Since AZGF canceled the auction tags, they must have a plan to generate equal or greater revenue from another method. If they don't raise similar revenues, then that loss of revenue will have to be gained somewhere else through license and tag sales. They may vote to stick it to the NR's which...

Thanks guys. Already seen some items I'd likely have forgotten.

My Son and I are headed out from NC to NM for a hunting trip and wanted to get some ideas for a gear list for camping out of the truck. We will be camping and using the truck to get around. Wanted some camp gear lists like stove, LP fuel, tarps, tables, chairs, generator, cords, string lights...

I don't disagree. The more tickets the wealthy guys buy, the better the odds, but at least the broke guys can buy one ticket and have a slim chance to draw it. That's one more fraction of a chance for all the broke guys that they didn't have before.

6 year old thread man! :) At first I was going to quote the OP and ask him where the 12K Dall sheep hunts were. LOL...

In 8 years it went from 17 points in 2015 to 25 points in 2023. That means point creep is the exact same as the point you buy. If you are like me at 21 points, I will never get there in 10 years in the points round. At some point very soon, the creep for non residents will be more than the...

Nice analysis. I've come to a similar conclusion, but not quite as fancy. There are so many factors in play. You've got people just buying points for years that jump in the draw, frustrated people burning points in units they haven't tried before, rifle tag hopefuls switching to archery to...

New Mexico Gila National Forest public land draw tag 2023

That is around 88.5% of the elk tags going to residents, before you figure out how many of the LO tags and outfitter draw tags go to residents. That might as well be a 90-10 split, because you know residents bought land owner tags and a small percentage of residents got in the outfitter draw...
